It is a friends birthday next week and she went away for a holiday on Friday. I have been ill with chest infection this week so hadn’t sent her a card in the post . I went to work on Thursday and did a detour to her house and delivered card into her letterbox . I didn’t knock because I was in a rush to get to work. I text her later to say that there was a card for her in letter box . Received a very sarcastic reply that she saw me drive away and it would have been nice if I had bothered to stop for a quick chat . Was very taken aback by her reply and apologised explaining I was on my way to work and hope she has a lovely birthday. She replied saying that she had forgotten ‘I like to get to work early’ very passive aggressive and not what I would ever think if a friend bothered to deliver a card to me ! Am I being unreasonable to be massively pissed off with her ?

Wow your friend sounds well rude! It’d be the last card she got from me 😂

I must admit I find it rude when people put cards through the door, when you are in.

Confused what on earth is rude? They are considerate enough not to barge in without warning, they give you a card and you think it's rude?!

The ONLY reasonable comment from the friend would have been a thank you, and telling you that of course you could have stopped for a chat/coffee and hope to catch up soon.

People are offended by nice gestures now, WTF!
